Synthesis and characterization of new electrospun medical scaffold-based modified cellulose nanofiber and bioactive natural propolis for potential wound dressing applications.

Recently, the design of polymer nanofibers using the electrospinning process has attracted much interest. Particularly the use of natural polymers has promoted many advantages in their biomedical applications. However, the combination of multiple natural polymers remains a great challenge in terms of electrospun production and applied performance.

Evaluation of the Appropriateness of Piperacillin-Tazobactam Prescription in Community-Acquired Pneumonia: A Tertiary-Center Experience.

Background Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has been designated a public health crisis by the World Health Organization. AMR can lead to escalated healthcare costs, higher mortality rates, increased morbidity, and more frequent hospitalizations. This study aimed to retrospectively evaluate the appropriateness of Tazocin prescription for community-acquired pneumonia (CAP).

Clinical Presentation of Pediatric Celiac Disease Patients in the Qassim Region Over Recent Years.

Introduction Celiac disease is an immune-mediated systemic disease. It is prevalent and has diverse clinical manifestations; gastrointestinal symptoms are more common in children, including failure to thrive, chronic diarrhea, vomiting, and abdominal distention. The diagnosis should be made at a precise time to evade severe irreversible complications, especially for pediatric patients.

Dental practitioners' and students' knowledge of medication related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ).

Background: Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a complication affecting patients who are being treated with antiresorptive or antiangiogenic medication. These patients require meticulous treatment planning and management strategies. This research aimed to assess the knowledge of dental practitioners and students in their professional years regarding MRONJ.

Different Treatment Modality in the Management of Acute Mesenteric Ischemia.

Mesenteric ischemia (MI) is a reduction in blood flow of the mesenteric vessels resulting in ischemia or infarction if not treated properly. It is difficult to diagnose and it has a high rate of mortality. Moreover, it is managed either by open surgery or endovascular approach.

Spectral/Cepstral Analyses of Phonation in Parkinson's Disease before and after Voice Treatment: A Preliminary Study.

Purpose: This article examines cepstral/spectral analyses of sustained /α/ vowels produced by speakers with hypokinetic dysarthria secondary to idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD) before and after Lee Silverman Voice Treatment (LSVT®LOUD) and the relationship of these measures with overall voice intensity.

Methodology: Nine speakers with PD were examined in a pre-/post-treatment design, with multiple daily audio recordings before and after treatment. Sustained vowels were analyzed for cepstral peak prominence (CPP), CPP standard deviation (CPP SD), low/high spectral ratio (L/H SR), and Cepstral/Spectral Index of Dysphonia (CSID) using the KAYPENTAX computer software.
